“Fusion” is defined as “a merging of diverse, distinct, or separate elements into a unified whole”. So it is with Fusion Stone; the coming together of the beauty, strength, and maintenance free characteristics of traditional stone with the ease of installation and affordability of stone veneer. Truly the best of both worlds!

Fusion Stone is an easy and budget-friendly way to beautifully upgrade a home or business, both inside and out. The easy, step-by-step installation process can be implemented in a variety of ways from exterior walls, BBQs, and planter boxes to interior fireplaces, kitchen islands, backsplashes, and feature walls.

A patented Shouldice innovation, Fusion Stone is a thin stone veneer that is easily installed with the included stainless steel clips & screws. You just screw it to the wall and it’s “Hooked for Life”.

Fusion Stone is also a great product for contractors. It has proven consumer appeal, multiple application possibilities, is quick and easy to install, and has a compelling margin opportunity.
